Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rock, rock ,rock , rock n' roll high school
Well I don't care about history
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Cause that's not where I want to be
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
I just want to have some kicks
I just want to get some chicks
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Well the girls out there knock me out, you know
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Cruisin' around in my BTO
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
I hate the teachers and the principal
Don't want to be taught to be no fool
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
